Rediff - Careless web site

Nish Nishant

Rediff.com is one of the most popular web sites for Indians abroad. Yet they are so careless. Since morning I have been trying to read the article titled "Target Tendulkar for Akthar" which is linked from this page :- http://www.rediff.com/wc2003/index.html and the link points to http://www.rediff.com/wc2003/2003/feb/27akhtar.htm, but amazingly the link does not work and you get a page that says :- Sorry! The requested page could not be found. :mad: I have been trying since today morning. I can understand a link being broken for a few minutes. But it's almost 12 hours now and that sucks. What a useless bunch of web admins thet must be maintaining. I bet the whole bunch consists of Java programmers!

I think every "page could not be found" error informs the webmaster about this missing link. I think they will publish this article the day before Ind vs Pak match. I agree Rediff sucks. For Cricket related news now I am reading only on BBC Sports. Follow live World Cup Cricket scores here[^]

...and when it does it's a pain. At least when you devide to include all, not just those that have a referrer from my site.
